...New UPDATE...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1023 AM EDT Fri Jun 7 2024

Update...Temperatures as of 10am already climbing to the low to mid
80s across east central Florida, setting up for what will certainly
be another abnormally warm day. A few sites may flirt with record
highs especially for locations across the interior, but this will be
dependent on timing of thunderstorm activity and cooling rain
effects. Another active stormy afternoon is forecast once again
today, although parameters suggest a lower hail and wind threat than
yesterday. Still, frequent lightning strikes and gusty winds up to
50 mph cannot be ruled out in any storms that develop, along with a
brief spin up with multiple boundary collisions. Today, the focus
for activity will be just west of I-95, with storms pushing towards
the coast through sunset. Have increased PoPs to likely over a
larger area in the update which will mainly occur between 3pm and
8pm today.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFs)
Issued at 646 AM EDT Fri Jun 7 2024

VCTS starting 20Z-21Z and running through 02Z-03Z for ISO-SCT
TSRA/SHRA INVOF all ECFL terminals. Enough consistency the last
few model runs to justify TEMPOs for TSRA impacts 21Z-23Z at the
Orlando area terminals and 22Z-24Z at KDAB-KTIX. CIGs expected to
remain VFR, with heavy rain and gusty winds the primary impacts.
Light SW-W winds once again favor the WCSB, forecast to reach
KLEE ~18Z, and KMCO/KISM ~20Z if TSRA doesn`t develop first,
increasing winds to ~10 kts. ECSB reaches the coastal terminals ~16Z
to the south and ~20Z to the north, shifting winds to E-SE 10-15
kts. Winds become light/VRB after 02Z Friday night, and remain
light into much of Saturday.
